Fusing Plastic Bags
In April, I visited my grandma in Pittsburgh. We spent a day hanging out in her basement and fusing plastic bags together with an iron.
Fusing several layers of plastic bags is a cheap and easy way to create a durable, waterproof fabric. Once you've made some fabric, you can sew the sheets together to make pretty much anything you want.

Materials Needed:
- plastic bags of any size or color

- wax paper, parchment paper, freezer paper, or laminated card stock (to protect the iron).
